sv EG LAS'S'ESQ SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 604,928,- dated May 31 1898.

Application filed September'30,1897- Serial No. 663,541. on model.) I

TolaZZ whom zit/may concern.- Be it known that I, EFFIE FRANCES BRA] DOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia-{Stats of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in-Eyeglasses, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists in providing eye-- glasses with nose-clamps proper and means for supporting thelenses thereof in proper position froinibelow and preventing the same from slipping downwardly and turning outwardly, and consequent displacementfrom the nose, said means consisting of a bridge constructed as will be hereinafter described and adapted tobe adjusted to the anatomy of the nose so as to engage therewith and cause theglasses-to remain in position should the;

nose-clamps break or be removed.- Figure 1 represents a front view of eyeglasses embodying my invention. -,Fig. 2 rep resentsa partial side elevation and partial vertical section thereof on line a; a), Fig, 1.

Fig; 3 represents a top or plan view thereof. Similar lettersof reference indicate corre-' sponding parts in the figures. I

Referring to the drawings, A designates the lenses of a pair of eyeglasses, and B BY the studs attached to the inner ends thereof. C designates the spring or bridge which connects the lenses, and D designates the'nose clamps or guards'which with said'spring'are secured to the studs B, g

The spring 0 consists of a piece of metal or other suitable material benti-nto somewhat yoke form, comprising the side pieces E and the bottom cross-piece F, said side pieces extending downwardly and outwardly from thestuds B, to which their upper ends are secured,

and said cross-piece joining the lower ends said pieces E being on the sides of the nose, below the studs B, it being also noticed that the springO depends from said studs.

The operation is as follows: The'glasses are adjusted to the nose, whereupon the crosspiece F of the springv rests upon the front margin or bridge of the'nose below the studs B,- by which provision the glasses are sustained and prevented from either slipping downwardly or overturning outwardly and dropping, whereby they are reliably held on the nose, the convenience and benefit of which are evident.

The, side pieces E are shown continuous of parts.-

on.int'egral with the arms G, which carry .the guards D, thus avoiding joints for said pieces and arms and simplifying the construction of e being adapted to clamp the sides of the nose.

of the wearer, said side pieces being connected bya cross -piece which is below the nose-clamps proper and is adapted to rest on the bridge of the nose.
